Abstract

This paper examines the uses of the notion of boundary in sociological theory as a useful analogy to describe spatiality in situations of material semantic exchange and cooperation between different actors and communities. These uses do not account for a limit or a form defined by its location between the borders of different territories, but for a relational space that translates and symmetrizes the epistemological differences of the actors, and whose object quality allows for heterogeneous localization. Finally, we evaluate the extent to which the objective condition of boundaries allows cooperation practices to be scenarios of epistemological difference and its effect on the cohesion between actors and communities defined by it.
